I have an electric kenmore dryer that no longer will heat. Everything else is working. I bought the dryer used from an appliance store that rebuilds used ones. I think it might be the heater element but I have no clue where to find it or if I am on the right track...Please help!!!

you will need an ohm meter to test the thermostats and element. Remove the rear panel and look at the wires, where it connects to the thermostats, remove only one set of wires at a time and test each thermostat for continuity. If one of them has not continuity then that's your bad part, if they do remoe the wires from the element and test it the same way.
post your results.

I have the same problem. I have tested the thermal fuse, both thermostats, and the coil, all test positive with full continuity. Initially , I threw the breakers a few times. I get 240Volts at the recepticle. Could the wires to any of the items be bad or attached incorrectly?

It is possible to have a loose wire in the harness. Check all the connections(inside the internal plugs)

edwrecks,
Glad you were able to find it, sometimes the simple stuff takes the most time to locate
